LED RETROFIT FOR SHOPPING CENTRE’S PARKING AREA

IESSA conference: ‘Lighting – then and now ’ Fourie explains that the luminaire has been designed to operate LEDs of 15 W in an ambi- ent temperature (Tq) environment of up to 35 °C, without reducing the useful lifetime of 100 000 hours, at a lumen depreciation of not more than 30% (L70). The Skido, which weighs only 1.3 kg, features integrated lenses for performing pho- tometry, surge protection of 10 kV, as well as a wide operating temperature (Ta) from -20 °C up to 50 °C. The luminaire has been designed to simplify the installation process, and is manu- factured from durable and recyclable materials. THE 12 th IESSA AGM and annual Congress will be held at the picturesque coast town of St Francis Bay in the Eastern Cape from 15 to 18 May. The theme, ‘Lighting – then and now’ will be explored and presentations will include: • The Dark Side of LED Measurements by P du Toit and E M Coetzee (NMISA). • Performance of the Perk in Elmer Lambda 1050 Spectrophotometer as a Transfer Standard for Full Scale Regular Spectral Transmittance Measurements in the 200 nm to 800 nm Wavelength Range by E K Mofokeng (NIMSA). • Investigations andMeasurement of Uncertainty Contributors for Colorimetric Calibrations by I Kruger and E M Coetzee (NIMSA). • Passion For Light – How it Impacts my (and your) World by Retief Coetzer (BEKA). • Good Lighting Values Provide Visual Comfort and Visual Performance for Motorists by Simon Poo (Philips Lighting). • Street Lighting – Then and Now – from Flameproof to LED by James Jooste, Little Venice Adventures. • Photobiological Safety of LEDs by Natasha Nel-Sakharova (NIMSA). • Energy Performance of Lighting in Buildings by Robert Henderson. • Human-centric Lighting by Greg Marcia, Giantlight. B eka Schréder supplied a cost-effective LED lighting solution for the lighting retrofit pro- ject of the outdoor parking area at the At- terbury Value Mart in Pretoria. The management at this popular shopping destination wanted to ensure that customers would feel safe and welcome at night and decided to upgrade the centre’s lighting. Atterbury Value Mart Shopping Centre is one of South Africa’s largest value marts, stretching over almost a kilometre, and is arguably the most popular factory outlet destination in Pretoria. According to the engineering brief provided by the lighting project management consultants, Green Power Energy Solutions, the existing poles had to be extended and their current positions had to be used. The luminaire had to be cost- effective and also have the capability of achieving the correct lighting levels according to SANS 10389-1. In addition, achieving the correct light uniformity with low glare was important. “The Skido 15 W LED luminaire met all these requirements,” says BEKA Schréder’s Paul Fourie. “The Skido has been developed to offer a com- pact and economic outdoor LED solution. Its ver- satility offers maximised savings in energy and maintenance costs.”
